The 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine is a multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across Europe. The championship features a mix of professional and amateur drivers, competing in Formula Regional cars that conform to the FIA Formula Regional regulations for the championship. This is the seventh season of the championship and the fifth after a merger with Formula Renault Eurocup which resulted in the change of the engine supplier to Alpine.

Teams and drivers

All teams compete using identical Tatuus FR-19 cars powered by 1.8l Renault engines on Pirelli tyres. Nine of the eleven teams that contested the 2024 season were also confirmed to be pre-selected for 2025.

Jack Beeton, who was runner-up to Slater in Italian F4 with US Racing, pilots the third car of Prema's lineup.

To replace them, RPM signed Enzo Peugeot, who finished the 2024 season in 15th with Saintéloc Racing, and Rui-Heng Yeh, who steps up to Formula Regional after taking two podiums in two years of F4 competition.

Trident also took on two new drivers as Alpine Academy driver Nicola Lacorte and Roman Bilinski both stepped up to FIA F3 with DAMS and Rodin Motorsport respectively. The team signed two drivers switching from other teams in Matteo De Palo, who finished his debut season in 2024 17th with Saintéloc Racing, and Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi, who came 24th with KIC Motorsport in 2024.

G4 Racing saw Kanato Le leave the team to join ART Grand Prix, while Romain Andriolo switched to the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with HRT Ford Performance and none of the team's three part-time competitors rejoined the series in 2025.
